Ashby's Mill, Tower windmill in Brixton, London, England
The four-story brick tower mill reaches a height of 49 feet and features a boat-shaped cap with two patent sails and two common sails.
Built in 1816, the mill operated by wind power until 1862, when operations moved to a watermill at Mitcham on the River Wandle.
The Friends of Windmill Gardens organize educational programs where visitors learn about grain milling processes and traditional flour production methods.
The mill opens for guided tours on specific weekends from March to October, with advance booking required through the Lambeth Council website.
Between 1902 and 1934, the mill supplied wholemeal flour to numerous West End hotels using a steam engine, later replaced by gas power.
